Toyota Unveils New Crash-Avoidance Technology

Toyota Motor Corp. has built its fame by always bringing the future a little early and, in the hopes of doing just that, the company has revealed its newest crash-avoidance technology, which takes control of steering in the event of an imminent collision.

You may be thinking that you'd rather rely on your own quick reflexes during a life-or-death situation, but after reading about Toyota's cutting-edge software, you may want to reconsider. The crash-avoidance system employs several cameras in combination with a sensitive millimeter-wave radar to detect pedestrians, obstacles and other vehicles.
